Morgan Brown of West Deptford blew away the competition at the North Jersey Singles Championships. The senior who was second in the state last season rolled a 659 series to lead the qualifying series, 62 pins higher than her closest competitor.

Because Brown's high series gave her two bye's in the elimination round, her only close-call was during the semifinals where she rolled a 185, only two pins higher than Brittany Hovan of Paramus and 8 pins higher than Nikki Vacuak of Paramus Catholic whose 177 eliminated her from the finals.

Kaitlin Pasinski of Immaculate Heart rolled the second high series with a 597 (209, 194, 194) and was eliminated in the semifinals with a 176. She came in third overall.

Two Ridgewood bowlers also placed in the top 10. Jen Schablik, who had the fourth high series 553 and Kelly Skettini, 16th high series of 505, finished 5th and 7th, respectively. Both girls were knocked out in the quarter finals.
